Speaker Box / Enclosure Specifications

This is the shape of the enclosures cutout hole and defines the style of subwoofer that can be installed.

Round / Circle

Box Type

Represents the style of the enclosure. Be sure to purchase the appropriate enclosure type and internal volume that will be compatible with your subwoofer's recommendation.

Sealed - Sealed boxes are those that have no holes or vents in it. The only hole in a sealed box is where the subwoofer is installed. Smaller sealed boxes require more power than a larger sealed box. They provide a tight, accurate bass, while the larger sealed enclosures provide a "boomier" and louder bass.

Ported / Vented - Ported/Vented Enclosures provide an even boomier, louder bass, but less accurate then a small, sealed box. Ported enclosures typically require more airspace per sub and also less power output from an amplifier to perform correctly.

Bandpass - Bandpass enclosures make subwoofers perform efficiently, but loose. The bass is not as "boomy" as a ported enclosure nor as punchy as a sealed enclosure. Bandpass enclosures work well with lower to mid-level subwoofers.

Sealed

Number of Subs/Speakers

This value represents the number of speakers or subwoofers that the enclosure accommodates.

2

Box Style/Shape

The box style or shape refers to the actual shape of the box. Square and rectangular boxes are straight-edged boxes on all sides, whereas hatchback and truck style enclosures feature an angled front or back design that allows for installation in places short on depth such as single cab pickup trucks. You can also use such enclosures in hatchback cars or other vehicles where space is a premium. Tube and cylinder shaped boxes were made popular by Bazooka and are a great option for those looking for a nice amount of bass without sacrificing lots of space. They may even fit in locations that slim truck boxes cannot fit in. If the enclosure is vehicle specific, we encourage you to read the product description to find out which vehicles the enclosure is made for.

Square/Rectangle

Cutout Diameter or Length

The actual diameter of the hole in the subwoofer box. Length is the measured length per side of a square subwoofer or speaker opening.

11"

Maximum Speaker Depth

Your subwoofer or speaker must not exceed this dimension in order to properly mount in this enclosure.

This is the total air space inside each chamber of the empty subwoofer enclosure. By matching this value with the recommended air space of the subwoofer, you will be able to know if the subwoofer will match this box.

1.23 cubic feet

Height

The height of the item, measured from top to bottom, in inches.

14-1/4"

Width

The width of the item from left to right (side-to-side) measured in inches.

28-1/2"

Depth

The front-to-rear depth of the item, in inches. If the item is angled or slanted, this value is the bottom measurement.

14-1/4"

Wood Thickness

The thickness of the wood the enclosure is made of, measured in inches.

3/4"

Number of Terminals

The number of terminals the enclosure has. Each terminal represents 1 positive and 1 negative.

2

Terminal Type

Spring clip terminals work best with bare wire connections with small-gauge speaker wire, or pin-type connectors.

Binding post terminals are a sturdier, more versatile type of speaker terminal. Because binding post terminals are are threaded, you can tighten them down against the wire or connector for a tight, clean connection. The most popular style of binding post terminals is known as a "5-way binding post". This type can accept bare wire, or any of the common speaker wire connectors. Binding posts with the option to be used with banana clips are even more versatile

Spring posts are a hybrid of the two. Instead of using a thread and "screwing" them tight, they use a spring to allow the wire to fit and tighten against the terminal.

Binding posts (banana clip ready)

Box Exterior Color

The color of the enclosure's exterior/outer finish.

Black

Box Finish

The material used on the outside of the box. Most boxes are carpeted to prevent exterior scratches; however vinyl is popular as it can often be color-matched to a near exact look of your leather factory interior.

I would recommend this product for the guy's out there that are serious about their music. If you got good, high quality subs, then this box will make them perform to your sub's max output with out worry of blowing up your box.

Cant beat the price. But it is really very good box. I put two 12" hifonic,also bought from here, with a 2 channel 1000 watt amp.It really shook my rearview mirror in my '97 towncar. My brother loved it so we put it in his '92 prelude.Wow!!! You can hear him before you see him. Great buy!!!

I am on a budget, like most of us. I needed a nice looking box for a reasonable price. For $52.00 you can't beat it.
I loaded my 2 12" Alpine TypeS subwoofers in it. Mounted my amp to the back and they are still going strong.

I got my complete set up: 12" kicker subs box 1000watt Mbquart amp and amp kit. I have always installed my own equipment, I found it helpful that they have videos that covered some of the product they carry. There are a few shop's in Texas like Best buy and Custom Sounds that offer equipment. But the professionalism of the knowledgeable staff the price and the reliability made it clear that I wanted to do business with them.

Ordered this as my first enclosure, put two 12" subs in it and I haven't found a box that hits as hard and as clean as this one has. Will definitely buy from SonicElectronix again for my car audio needs.

Was this review helpful to you?

Appears to be fairly well built. Arrived with a little dent and a tear but its too little to bother with. Sounds nice but doesn't hit as deep as I would have liked. Small size however, leaves me some room for a couple of bags of groceries. Three stars for durability since I've only owned this for about a month.

this box is deferentially cheap but i put my 2 kicker comp 12's in there makes the sound good but i am thinking of getting a ported box soon, box is made with good material and i like it have it wired down to 2 ohms its sound good

Solid sealed enclosure. Two of them barely fit in the back of my 02 Focus SVT 3 door. The binding posts are cheap, I tightened them as I would other posts but one out of eight wouldn't tighten because the thread tolerance is poor and it acts like its stripped, I can get some pressure on the wire but I worry it will come loose. Probably worth spending a little more money on a better enclosure but it works fine if you're on a budget.

This enclosure is a well built enclosure for sq applications. I purchaced to house 2 CV vmax 122 drivers and the sound quality was almost rubbery? not tinny, never a crackle....fluid almost..... call it a well dampened sound with minimal distortion. just clean bass all the way into the 20s. made sounds i diddnt know existed. if you dont care how your music sounds and just looking for loud, look elsewhere. my only complaint, 11" cutout is too small for the vmax and the black carpet is difficult to follow a line with the router.

The box is very good at 1.25 cubic feet. I'm running 2 12's with 800 watts rms and it hasn't shattered. Wish it was 1.35 cubic to accommodate for subwoofer basket displacement but it still makes makes subs hit ridiculously hard. Polyfill helps make the box seem bigger due to mechanics and the "Q" point. I really couldn't be happier!

I purchaced your Dual 12" sealed sub enclosure and added two Alpine R's and fosgate 1000w amp and WOW does not even come close, it Rocks. The quality of the box is really really impresive. The carpet in not the junk material I've seen in my other buddies combo's.
When you buy this box you know it will deliver and last a long time.... Sonic, keep up the good work!

The whole was no the size it said it was. I happen to be a part-time handy man so I had a circular sander and was able to make the whoel bigger. Took about an extra 20 mins of work to mount the subs, but overall everythign worked out. No complaints about box. It is doing it's thing!

Was this review helpful to you?

Its cheap, in price. Yeah, we see that. But let your worries go to rest, this is a GREAT BOX. Its well made, and put together great. Although they did use nails instead of screws, if you know what your doing, it won't slow you down. I have 2 12" Kickers in this baby, and pounds like a mofo.

i have 2- 12 inch Memphis audio 15-M3124D's in this box each putting out 2000 watts max hooked up to a MA audio HK10KA amp rated at 10,000 watts max. i have the subs bridged and it has way too much power going to them but the box still stands up. i would recommend that when you install your subs that you put some sort of foam stripping underneath the lip so when you screw it down you wont have and leaks at all.

Ok so I bought this box because I wanted a quick sealed enclosure for my 2 JL W3's. The box is made pretty solid, true 3/4 MDF but the caulk job on the inside was kind of off but that's nitpicking. Haha after 3 weeks though of pushing my W3s the top of the box is leaking air. So not the best made but definitely a good pre fab and pretty cheap. Can't really complain. It is nailed together tho so yea..

i bought this box about a year ago for 2 of my infinity reference 1260w subwoofers. I have two more in a ported box. im pushing 350w to all 4 and I have to say I like this box more than the ported. you feel it more in the sealed box but lose a little on the db's but its worth it. the box is sturdy and hasn't showed wear a bit. its tuned in the lower 40's so you wont get stupid low with it but can get loud. I would recommend it to anyone on a budget or to lazy to build their own box. it comes with polyfill which is a bonus, the terminals on the back need calked but that's with about any box you buy. overall I like it and would buy again if I had to.

This is a great box. I prefer ported but my trunk is too small for it so I had to go with sealed. I'm still happy though. This had the perfect size for my 12s. Also the measurements are a little off. The box is a little bigger that the description said.

Was this review helpful to you?

Installed this weekend, I did add a couple pounds of "pillow stuffing" since the box was a tad smaller then what I needed. I have noticed some flex already but im not suprised with the subs that are in it. I will add triangle shaped gussets and some "trim screw" to try and hold things together.

A sheet of real MDF (not the cheap underlayment) is $32, carpet and glue around $15 so for what they want for this its a good deal that just needs some minor tweaks.

Perfect size to fit my Infinity subs. Wish it came with mounting feet but can't ask for everything. Quality is legit for the price. Just your average rectangular box. Fit in the trunk of my 240sx which is pretty small.

This box looked great and felt very durable. My subwoofers wouldnt fit at first so I had to do some shaving, NO PROB. It sounded good for awhile and I loved it. After about two weeks, it lost its sound, went to check out the problem the whole front of the box had almost came off, Box was sealed very well, too bad they used nails instead of screws, would have been a very good box.

This is a great sub woofer box for the price it is heavy 41 pounds and it is sturdy. I have 2 12 kickers 600 rms 1500 peak and they sound great in this box hits lows and highs hard. I would say to any one buy it.

I replaced my old box with this 1 & man what a difference. My old box was 11 years old & I didn't realize it was falling apart & with this new box I noticed an instant difference. Its a great box for the price, it holds firm & can handle the full pressure of 1100 RMS

I did have to spray a little adhesive inside for 1 part of the foam & terminals were screwed in & not exactly straight & I also had to poke holes in the foam for wires but these things are no problem. The box is awesome & I will by more in the future

Carpet job is top notch, Good quality carpet stretched perfectly over the box. All joints are glued and caulked well. theres no need for extra bracing here but you may add some 2x4's to reduce the airspace if needed. The gold push terminals are well sealed in place.

Was this review helpful to you?

Not much else to say besides great product. Shipped in only 3 days, and the pre-done polyfill is a great touch. My only comlaint would be that my car smelled like glue for a few days after I put this box in, but that's just nit-picking. Will definitely order boxes from Sonic in the future!

Was this review helpful to you?

Don't let the skimpy price fool you. This box is made very well and it's ready to go. The joints are already caulked and glued - so there is nothing more to do than mount you speaker.

It's not MDF(medium density fiberboard) like all the others, it is made from HDF; high density fiberboard. HDF boxes are typically stronger, stiffer, and lighter than MDF enclosures. The box does not require any additional bracing because of its density. It has a high an undetectable high frequency resonance and doesn't color the sound of your bass with unwanted buzzing or flexing. The HDF box is lighter than MDF because it has smaller fibers that when pressed and heated require less glue and resin to bind the fibers together.

The speaker terminals are screw type gold plated binding posts that will hold 12 g speaker wire easily. They screw into the enclosure for added strength and a tighter seal.

Just make sure that you do your math and pick the right sub for the cubic feet and stuff with poly fiber fill.

This is an awesome enclosure. The price is very competitive as well. I am running 2 Rockford Fosgate R2D2-12 and there is no distortion at all. It is a very tight, clear sound. I highly recommended for anyone looking for a high quality low cost setup.

Great box. Quality carpet job, all seams sealed correctly and well, and the terminals are strong and functional. Perfect basic box to make two twelve's hit perfectly. Just remember this is a sealed box, so it will have a differnet sound than that of a ported or bandpass box, but if u want a tighter hitting bass, this box if perfect.

Nice heavy, good sounding box. I would reccomend putting some polyfil to "cushion" the backfire of the subwoofer, really helps w/any sealed box and totally makes a valuable difference considering it only costs about 5-10$ more. The box itself is well sealed and well made, the connectors on the inside and out are really easy to use and once connected your wires will stay put.

Bought this for some 12" audiobahhn subs I bought 2 years ago still brand new in the box and hooked everything up in my 91 civic sedan to my
Hifonics BRX2000.1D Brutus Mono block and pure awesomeness. The box makes these subs slam. Highly recommend this box

when i bought this box i wasnt really expecting much, because of the price an all but when i put my rockford fosgates's in it, it did sound great, and let me tell you im gettin 2 12 alpine type r next and im for sure going to be getting this box again.

Purchased because I needed a new box for my JL Audio W6v2's. Sounds great! Great solid construction, nice that it's already lined with polyfill, no air leaks and the black carpet looks great. Can't beat it for the price and sound quality with my subs in it is excellent. Guess it would be nice if the terminals were pre-wired but I soldered my own wires in. Love it, would buy again Box fits perfect in my '13 Accord trunk

A very well-built and nicely carpeted sub box, that looks great, and should prove to be very durable, as it is constructed with 3/4" MDF instead of thinner material of many other boxes costing more than this.

The black carpet makes more of an impact than the typical gray carpet, and the 5-way binding posts are much higher quality than the typical plastic spring connections normally found on sub boxes.

Very happy with this purchase, and would absolutely consider another should it fit my needs of enclosure volume. (It's not worth the extra time/effort to make a custom box, when this does the job just as well, and comes pre-lined with poly-filled and pre-carpeted)

Was this review helpful to you?

Comes with literally everything you'd need, fits perfectly in my 2014 dodge charger rt. Only think I had to buy in addition was a gauge to be able to lower the volume on the bass. Other then that I love it!

I needed a new box for my subs. My current box is 1.5cuft, but my subs are spec'd at 1.25cuft, and this was only $50. If I wanted to build my own box, the MDF would cost ~$40, carpet is maybe $20, and the polyfill is just a couple bucks. Either way, I save a good amount.

This Belva dual 12" sealed box looks better built than the other brand they have. The other option had cheaper spring loaded terminals in the back, no poly-fil and was gray. This one is carpeted in black and is a better match for my interior.

inexpensive I can't even purchase the 3/4 mdf that cheap, go shoot it under the bed on one side with my home theater, i wish sonic had more amps for home audio subs, I plan on using an old kenwood 2 channel for this box as welll as a ppi preamp with a 12v supply to it with the input hooked to the headphone output of my amp

I ordered this box over two years ago for my subs, i figured it would hold up a little while while i built a custom box. Well two years later and its holding up strong! the black carpeting is starting to peel a little at the joint but its not really noticeable unless you're rubbing your hand over it.

Unfortunately, we have not received an honest date from the manufacture. This implies that the enclosure is likely on a Manufacture's Backorder. Please check back with us in two weeks for more possible info.

I just purchased the belva mdfd12 enclosure with (2) jbl s2-1224 subs. will these subs sound good with this enclosure? And I also got the jbl gtx 500 amplifier that im adding to my factory head unit, what kind of line out converter should I get?

Best Answer:I have it the same aub conbination with the sub i can answer that the subs bump in this enclouse now the cons make sure you weld the speaker wires from the gold plated connections cause they tend to over heat and they go eight thru the plastic happenned to me on both of them but other than that i recommend this enclouse and the s2-1224 anyday

Best Answer:I bought this for a pair of Renegade 12" subwoofers, and have had no problems at all with clearance. The grill sticks out 2" from the sides of the subs and 3" from the middle. I'd highly recommend them for the price. Installation was easy, they're extremely well put together, and have allowed me to use my trunk worry free. Hope this helped.

will orion hcca 12s fit in this box dont have the means to build a box can u point me towards a box that will fit them please?

A shopper on Aug 27, 2014

Best Answer:You can use that box for them if you dont have the means of building your own, although it is recommended to build your own it is not necessary. You will have plenty of air space to get all the audio you will want out of those subs. I do reommend changing the terminals on the box as they are prone to melting with bigger subwoofers. Hope this helps, good luck!

According to the features and specs tabs on the product's page: "Cutout Diameter or Length: 11" " . Keep in mind, these pre-fab enclosures are designed to be more narrow than the typical subwoofer so that your installer can sand the opening further in order to fit a particular subwoofer.
